Question 3 of 5
60%
A guest wants to pair wine with the Walnut Chicken. What do you recommend?
Cabernet Sauvignon
✓ Chardonnay — correct!
Pinot Noir
Why this matters on the floor
The honey glaze in Walnut Chicken pairs best with a buttery Chardonnay. Mentioning this to a guest is a natural, confident upsell opportunity — and it shows you know your menu.

The math is simple

One upsell per server.
Every night.

A server who knows the menu sells more. Not because they are pushy — because they are confident. Here is what that looks like in real numbers.

Per server, per shift
$12
One bottle of wine.
One dessert. One cocktail.
Just 1 upsell per shift.
5 servers on floor
Per night
$60
5 servers x $12 avg upsell.
That is one shift.
One trained team.
Per month
$1,800
30 nights x $60.
From one small habit.

FAQ

Questions answered

You import your menu by pasting text or uploading a file. Tablo reads your actual menu and generates questions based on your dishes, allergens, pairings, and upsell opportunities — not generic food trivia.
Managers send a message with a restaurant ID and PIN. Staff download the Tablo app, tap "I'm a Staff Member", enter their ID and PIN, and they're in. They stay logged in for future shifts — no password required.
No. The staff experience is a single screen — open app, take quiz, done. It takes less than 30 seconds to figure out. Most staff complete their first quiz within 5 minutes of getting the message.
Yes. After Tablo generates questions, you can swap or regenerate any individual question before sending the quiz to staff. You're always in control of what gets asked.
After 7 days you'll be prompted to choose a plan. If you don't upgrade, you keep read-only access to your data. No hidden charges — ever.
The native app is iOS only right now. Managers can access the full platform at trytablo.com on any browser. Android is on the roadmap.
